In Colombia, the escape of the Camorra member Belvedere was foiled. The boss was transferred from the prison of Medellin to that of Bogota

He had been arrested on October 25, his movement following the discovery of a plan organized with the help of a local clan: he was supposed to pretend to be ill and be picked up during transport to the hospital.

Camorra boss Luigi Belvedere, arrested in Colombia on October 25, was transferred today from Medellin prison to Bogota after police discovered an escape plan organized with the help of a local clan.

This was reported by the Chief of Police, General William Salamanca, assuring that, according to intelligence sources, Belvedere had offered a sum of 750 thousand dollars to members of the Golfo clan, one of the main drug cartels operating in the country. The escape plan, Salamanca said, involved Belvedere pretending to be ill in order to be taken to the hospital and picked up on the way by a commando of the Golfo clan.

The boss - whose arrest followed by a few days that of another prominent Camorra figure, Gustavo Nocella, also in Medellin - was then transferred by plane to the prison in Bogota, where he will remain until the extradition requested by the anti-mafia prosecutor's office in Naples.

Belvedere was definitively sentenced to 18 years for international drug trafficking and is considered one of the intermediaries, together with Nocella, between the Colombian cartels and the Casalesi clan.

Italian mobster boss's son who 'renounced crime' and stood for election as an anti-mafia candidate is arrested on suspicion of running a protection racket

“We have an infinite archive on the Camorra”, the dossiers of the former inspector
Internapoli Editorial Team

The investigation into the secret dossiers has revealed a wealth of data that includes “the map of Calabrian families” in Germany , created by Carmine Gallo during the investigations into the Duisburg feud in 2007. The former inspector collected this data during years of field operations, coming to possess details on several clans , “ We have an infinite archive, this is the Sacra corona and also the Camorra .” They talk about the bosses Totò Riina and Bernardo Provenzano, they mention Matteo Messina Denaro and Pablo Escobar.

The Gallo method and the dossiers
Gallo's method for collecting documents during his investigative career, Quotidiano.net reports, had a scientific and meticulous strategy. His operations in Calabria, described, reveal an unscrupulous approach: by exploiting the distraction of municipal employees, he managed to gain access to confidential information without any supervision. "Go get a coffee, see you in half an hour," he would tell them, before closing the doors and proceeding to photograph and photocopy crucial documents.

Thousands of dossiers
This method not only highlighted his ability to manipulate situations in his favor, but also his awareness of the inestimable value of classified information. The thousands of files and dossiers collected, seized by the Carabinieri as part of the investigation into the cyber-spies of Equalize, are configured as a true crime novel, revealing an intricate plot of power, corruption and secrets that span centuries of Italian history.

Gallo had long understood that, in a world where data is a precious commodity, the management and accumulation of information can confer significant control over events and people, transforming documents into tools of blackmail and manipulation.

AMDuemila November 14, 2024
The mayor of Scafati (Salerno), Pasquale Aliberti, was acquitted because "the fact does not exist". The pronouncement of the acquittal with full formula was made by the Court of Nocera Inferiore (president Cinzia Apicella, in the college Federico Noschese and Giuseppe Palumbo) and arrived in the late afternoon today. The prosecution had requested a sentence of 6 years and 8 months for Aliberti. The other defendants were also acquitted, including the wife of the mayor, Monica Paolino, former regional councilor. The trial was born following an investigation by the Salerno DDA that hypothesized an alleged political-mafia electoral exchange for the 2013 municipal elections in Scafati and for the 2015 regional elections. "Justice was done by an extremely intelligent and humane Court, which understood the substance of the facts and the story", commented Aliberti's lawyer, Silverio Sica, to the AGI news agency, underlining that it was "a trial of great suffering that has upset so many lives. We hope we can put an end to it".

Modified: 51 min ago52 min agoin Domestic

MILAN - A Dutch citizen has been arrested at the request of Italian justice after an extensive investigation in the southern European country into large-scale VAT fraud. A link is being made to the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia.


This is reported by media in the country. The detainee - probably a Dutch citizen, although this has not been confirmed - was arrested after a European arrest warrant was issued. The suspect is said to be part of a network that had set up a system to evade taxes. This concerns VAT on the trade in computer products and the laundering of the profits that were made with it.

'Moby Dick'
The arrest was made at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Milan, Palermo and the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) during a major multi-country operation dubbed 'Moby Dick', which also saw the seizure of assets and cash worth over €520 million from companies involved, the police explained in a statement.


In addition to those arrested, 200 people are under investigation and the involvement of 400 companies is being investigated. Assets were also seized for money laundering on several residential and real estate complexes worth more than 10 million euros in Cefalú (Palermo, on the island of Sicily). In addition, false invoices worth 1.3 billion euros were discovered, covering the period 2020-2023. The fraud was committed through fictitious economic entities and ghost companies.

Mafia
The suspects, mostly from Italy, are also suspected of investing their profits from the tax fraud with the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia. More than 160 searches have been carried out in numerous provinces of Italy, at homes, offices and businesses attributed to the suspects, law enforcement officials said.

This morning, the Carabinieri of the Giugliano in Campania Company executed a pre-trial detention order issued by the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of the Naples Court, at the request of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate, against four individuals strongly suspected of the crime of participating in a Camorra-type criminal association known as the Mallardo clan, operating in the territory of Giugliano in Campania. In particular, one of the suspects is believed to have had the role of a contact person for the criminal organization, with directive and decision-making powers regarding the strategies to be adopted. Another suspect is alleged to have acted as a trusted person for one of the clan's leaders, tasked with organizing meetings and gatherings; the other two with executive roles in carrying out illicit activities.

Among those arrested is Biagio Micillo, 68 years old, already detained, considered the clan's contact with responsibility for strategic direction. Domenico Chiariello , known as "Mimmuccio", 41 years old, nephew of Micillo, was also arrested. Giulio Maisto and Antonio Miraglia are also in jail. Then there are another 14 suspects at large for whom the precautionary measure was rejected due to lack of serious evidence of guilt or expiry of the terms

Also a segment on Calabrian boss Rocco Papalia.

Police arrested 15 members of the De Luca Bossa-Minichini clan based in the neighborhood of Ponticelli (Naples) and the town of Cercola charged with extortion and attempted extortion aggravated by mafia methods; the criminal group extorted money from common criminals, such as drug dealers and car thieves

Camorra, assets worth 60 million seized in Caserta

The investigations concern an entrepreneur believed to be close to the Belforte clan and the Casalesi clan–Zagaria Group

Assets worth 60 million euros were confiscated from a Caserta businessman believed to be close to the Belforte clan and the Casalesi orbit. The measure, carried out by the Carabinieri del Ros and the Guardia di Finanza, concerned company shares, business assets, real estate and financial resources and was issued by the Court of Santa Maria Capua Vetere after investigations by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate.

The entrepreneur, close to the Belfortes but also to the Zagaria group, is said to have increased his assets illegally, resulting in him being the head of 8 companies in the province of Caserta active in the real estate, construction, large-scale distribution and wholesale trade of food products sectors, as well as a supermarket chain with 21 stores in the Caserta area.

«When I told… that Gennaro Ramondino wanted to start his own business, he replied: “Now that he comes I’ll kill him”».

This is how Domenico Di Napoli reconstructed for investigators the hours preceding the murder of “Genny”, killed by 16-year-old P. in the basement used as a drug dealing square in via Comunale Napoli in Pianura. There was a lot of tension among the drug traffickers in the neighborhood orbiting around the Marsicano group, of which Massimiliano Santagata had become regent after the arrest of Emanuele Marsicano.

But the cold-blooded murder of the 20-year-old from Fuorigrotta, last September 1st. A substantially closed case, without prejudice to the presumption of innocence of the suspects until a final conviction.

"In order not to create confusion in the drug dealing area and for fear that... he might do what he had threatened, I told him that he shouldn't allow himself to do such a thing. It seemed that he had listened to me, but at that point, since we had a 9x21 pistol in the basement, for fear that he might use it, I took it into my house, upstairs. P. saw me. I went up and put the gun on the coat rack at the entrance, specifying that I always leave the door of the house open when the drug dealing area is in operation. From 9 pm to 1 am I didn't see P. anymore, but I knew he was downstairs. I have cameras in the house and therefore I can see the people arriving."

"At one o'clock - continued Domenico Di Napoli - Glovo called because the ordered sandwiches were ready and I went out to pick them up. When I returned I saw Gennaro Ramondino, Nunzio Rizzo and Paolo Equabile arriving in a car. When I entered the house I saw P. at the door. The time to take the sandwiches to the kitchen and I heard the gun being cocked, so I understood that he had taken possession of it. He quickly went down the stairs, I chased him. P. pointed the gun at Gennaro Ramondino's chest and shot several times".

The 16-year-old, originally from the Traiano district, is a self-confessed criminal and is the only suspect accused of murder. Di Napoli will have to answer for aiding and abetting and destruction of a corpse.

Camorra, maxi blitz against the Scissionisti: 53 arrests in the Amato-Pagano clan

Large-scale operation by the Naples DIA against the Amato-Pagano clan, also known as Scissionisti for the division from the Di Lauro clan, with which it then gave rise to the so-called Scampia feuds: 53 people were arrested.

A severe blow to the Amato-Pagano clan was inflicted, at dawn today, Tuesday 17 December, by a maxi blitz of the Anti-Mafia Investigative Directorate (Dia) of Naples: 53 people are the recipients of precautionary custody measures. The 53 suspects, believed by investigators to belong to the so-called Scissionisti clan - given the division from the Di Lauro clan, with which it then gave rise to the bloody feuds of Scampia - are accused, to varying degrees, of mafia-style criminal association, extortion, possession of weapons and other crimes.

This morning's blitz originates from the investigations of the Operations Center of the DIA of Naples, coordinated by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Naples. The Amato-Pagano clan, operating between Melito, Mugnano and some areas of the Neapolitan neighborhoods of Scampia and Secondigliano, was born, as mentioned, from the split from the Di Lauro clan, for which it was nicknamed the Scissionisti clan.

The clan was run by women, but extortion was a real training session for minors, aspiring bosses. A field school of Camorra, which the Amato – Pagano Clan had organized to educate the new recruits.

Ambush in Barra among the crowd, the 44-year-old wounded near the Aprea clan: two hitmen acted
Marine Ciccarelli
January 4, 2025

The name of the 44-year-old man who ended up in the sights of the hitmen in the ambush committed yesterday in Barra, an eastern suburb of Naples, is Ettore Velotti . The man was hit by several gunshots to a leg and a foot.

Ambush in Barra among the crowd, the 44-year-old wounded near the Aprea clan: two hitmen acted
The attackers knew where to intercept him. And so at 3:30 PM, at the intersection of Corso Sirena and Paizza Vincenzo de Franchis, they decided to open fire. The criminals fired wildly, into the crowd, also damaging some parked cars. Miraculously, none of the shots fired hit passers-by.

The victim of the raid was instead transported to the emergency room of the Villa Betania hospital and released in the early evening without serious consequences. The manner of the ambush suggests a Camorra origin . Ettore Velotti has no criminal record for association , even if he has a history of crimes of robbery, personal injury and resisting a public official. Investigators believe he is close to the Aprea clan, a criminal group that dominates the neighborhood.

The men of the Flying Squad are investigating the episode. The police tried to interrogate Velotti, but he did not make any important statements. According to an initial reconstruction, two hitmen went into action. Among the hypotheses on the motive, a settling of scores between gangster groups or punishment for an insult. At the center of the episode there could also be criminal fibrillations linked to the clash between the Aprea-Cuccaro and the Celeste, a splinter group anxious to unseat the old bosses.
